Trump's 'Muslim lockdown': What is the Center for Security Policy? (mini barf alert but interesting)
BBC ^

Posted on 12/08/2015 8:26:26 AM PST by RoosterRedux

The Republican presidential frontrunner claimed that research by the respected Pew organisation showed a "great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population" - but he did not refer to any specific study to support that claim, and we can't find one that does.

Mr Trump did cite a specific a study by the Center for Security Policy - "very highly respected people, who I know, actually" - which he said showed that 25% of Muslims in the US believed violence against America was justified "as part of the global jihad".

*snip*

But what exactly is the Center for Security Policy, and just how highly respected is it? It's a conservative think-tank

The CSP was founded in 1988 by Frank Gaffney Jr, a former staffer in the Ronald Reagan administration who has been accused of Islamophobia. On its website, the centre calls itself a "Special Forces in the War of Ideas" which offers "maximum bang for the buck" to its donors.

The CSP does not publish information about who those donors are, but according to a 2013 report by Salon they include some of the US's biggest aviation and defence companies - Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, Raytheon and General Electric.

This is major. I hadn't realize that Trump had aligned himself with Gaffney. This means Trump is aligned with Robert Spencer, Pam Geller and even Geert Wilders.

Major breakthrough on the part of Trump. And it erases the worry so many of us have had about Trump's criticism of Pamela's "Draw Mohammed" contest.

(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate

Gellar has actually been siding with Trump, and his tough stance against muzzie infiltration, a few times, lately.

BTTT!

Good. I haven't been keeping up with her lately. Too much other stuff going on in the campaign.

She's a brave woman, a real hero.

This sure looks like it may be the Pew research Trump is talking about.

It talks about growth of Muslim religion.
Support for Sharia Law..
How do Muslims feel about groups like ISIS?.
What do American Muslims believe?
